Accepted Answer

1200mg: Is a recommended maximum dose. The half-life of Ibuprofen is approximately 2 hours. 
Hope it helps.

Question 2

can my 18 year old son take ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) along with the tamiflu?

Accepted Answer

Sure: There is no problem with this. Ibuprofen has a longer half life and thus lasts longer. It is also better for pain.  Hope he is feeling better! 600 to 800 mg of ibuprofen is a good dose for his age.

Question 3

can i take promethazine with tamiflu (oseltamivir)? i feel nauseous. i've also been taking acetaminophen and ibuprofen.

Accepted Answer

Promethazine Tamiflu (oseltamivir): Yes, it may take both together as there are no drug drug interactions or contraindications between them. Best wishes.

Question 4

taking tamiflu , ibuprofen 800mg, can i take a sudafed pe for nasal congestion?

Accepted Answer

800mg is a big dose: If a person was taking Tamiflu for the flu, and had no problems with the Tamiflu, and in the past had no problems taking ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or cold medications like Sudafed PE, then she should be able to take the 3 medications on the same day and still have no medication issues, because the medications should not interact with one another. However, 400mg (or 600mg) ibuprofen may work fine.

Question 5

dr. gave me tamiflu (oseltamivir) can i still take dayquil severe? been 2days on it i feel so weak no energy been on ibuprofen for fever robitussin for cough.

Accepted Answer

Get checked: Sometimes flu can cause pneumonia and other infections. See your doctor for a full check up to ensure it is just the flu and nothing more serious.

Question 6

have the flu. just noticed blood in my stool. it's red, not black. been taking lots of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. also took tamiflu (oseltamivir).

Accepted Answer

Red in stool: This is likely a hemorrhoid. Soften the stools with colace (docusate sodium) 100 mg two times a day and use a teaspoon of mineral oil three to four times a day. This should help. You should have this checked by a gastrointestinal specialist. Good luck.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes: You may take 2 Ibuprofen q 6 hours if they are the 200mg tabs. Maximum dose is actually 800mg PO q6 hours, but it can be rather harsh on the stomach at that dose.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir): Tamillu is general recognized as safe, however there are some people who react to tamiflu (oseltamivir) with minor or major reactions that can be very serious.  It is very difficult to tell who might have a severe reaction.
